To us, it\u2019s personal.<br \/>\n\u201cMy husband has been in care with young onset Alzheimer\u2019s for three years. I met with Giovanni at Home Instead Senior Care (Geelong office) to try to provide a carer for my husband as at that time I and family members were taking him out seven days a week which had become exhausting for us all. This was exhausting both emotionally and physically.<br \/>\n\u201cGiovanni found a carer for my husband and I took him out to meet up with both Giovanni and the carer. On that day his new carer who was a delightful man took him off for a walk to the beach. From that day on my husband has had a carer for two hours every Monday and Friday. He goes to the beach, has an ice cream or hot chocolate or milkshake. All his favourites, sometimes it\u2019s a drive listening to music.<br \/>\nGiovanni and I discussed what he liked to do, eat and drink. I and family have been grateful for the excellent care and compassion and the thoughtful way in which this happy outcome has been achieved.<br \/>\n\u201cI fully recommend this company, all the staff I have dealt with have been courteous, kind and professional. My husband now has a better quality of lifestyle\u201d &#8211; Ruth B., Geelong<br \/>\n\u201cI couldn\u2019t recommend Home Instead (Geelong) more highly. Giovanni and his team provided the type of care we all dream of for our parents. We had three carers calling in three times a day and all of them took a loving interest in our mother and went out of their way to give the best care they could possibly deliver.<br \/>\n\u201cWhenever a carer was sick, the gap was filled by one of the other carers and so there was a seamless consistency which ensured our mother had everything she needed and was always cared for by people who knew her.<br \/>\n\u201cThank you from the bottom of our hearts from our family to all staff at Home Instead Geelong\u201d &#8211; Miranda B., Geelong<br \/>\n\u201cGreat support from Giovanni and his team.<br \/>\n\u201cHe matched my husband up with a wonderful carer and he has made our life so much better. Having this company provide 24-hour care will enable my husband to stay at home with one on one care. I can fulfil my promise to keep him home and not go into a nursing home.<br \/>\n\u201cWonderful company and so glad we have them there to support us\u201d &#8211; Denice O., Geelong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We know we are the best choice for in-home care for seniors, but don\u2019t just take our word for it.
